Dear Abby Your Money's Worth ANN LANDERS By Ann Landers By Sylvia Pwter Within less than a generation, more than 30 per cent of the people in our country will be over the age of 30! Before ihe year 2000. only 27 years from now in three "wili be age 65 or over. In the era already underway, the cult of youth which has so offensively dominated our society for so long is bound to pass and "family planning" will focus not on children and babies but on planning for our elderly population how to accommodate them, support them, limit the numbers of dependent elderly, maximize the potential of the non-dependents.

These are just a few of the probable consequences of the drastic declines in the U.S. birth rate, according to a major study by the Center for the Study 01 Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, Calif. The Pear Ann Landers: A while back you printed a column readers to drop you a card and let you know were the ten best-years of their lives. I was particularly interested because as a "psychologist at the Menninger Foundation I undertook a similar project Only my question was, "What year 5 do you consider the best years of "Me?" I asked 100 voung people (16 to 26) and 100 old people (70 phis.) The results among the young were predictable. They thought the best years were the 20's because this meant being unencumbered by parental pressures and an "opportunity to enjoy freedom from heavy responsibilities.

The old people, on the other hand, tended to feel the and 5Q's were the best years. What surprised me greatly was the 25 per cent who believed the best years occurred during old age. Many such people considered those years to be best because their major obliga- study was sponsored by the tions in life had been fulfilled.

What with food prices going up at unprecedented rates and now the freeze on meat prices and the meat boycott, one would think that a consumer adviser would just be bursting with suggestions for both President and consumer.

Earlier this a remember, there was quite a to-do about large boulders which burst through the ground in a pasture and brought geological experts running. Taere was much speculation, learned and otherwise, about what might have favored City with this phenomenon. What force pushed massive bles? Well, it's turned out that Mother Nature gets neither credit-nor culprit was a burst casing of an underground propane storage well. Employes of the company that owns the well have bulldozed away the boulders, and all is more or less as it was before. It may be comforting to Elk Cityans to know that the earth beneath their feet is not likely to sprout more boulders.
